I am the Applicant of record for the above referenced trademark application for I am over the age of eighteen and competent to make this Declaration. The facts stated in this Declaration are within my personal knowledge and are

the YOUR MAPPER mark. 4. I offer the services identified in the application under the YOUR MAPPER mark

through my company Metro Mapper, LLC, of which I am the Founder and CEO. The YOUR MAPPER mark is used only with my permission and under my control. 5. The main website for the services offered under the YOUR MAPPER mark is

available to the public at www.yourmapper.com (YOUR MAPPER website). At the YOUR MAPPER Website, the YOUR MAPPER mark appears on every page, including the top of the YOUR MAPPER Websites home page. An image of the homepage at yourmapper.com is attached as Exhibit A. 6. The YOUR MAPPER Website describes the YOUR MAPPER services, shows

examples of maps created by YOUR MAPPER, provides links to other sites using YOUR MAPPER services, and informs visitors about the YOUR MAPPER blogs, twitter feed, and affiliated sites. 7. Since the YOUR MAPPER Website launched in November 2007, the site has

received more than 82,000 visits from more than 71,000 unique visitors resulting in nearly 172,000 page views. In the past month alone, approximately 26,000 unique users made 27,000 visits to the site resulting in more than 50,000 page views. 8. I also operate several affiliated websites that present maps and other information

created using YOUR MAPPER services featuring the YOUR MAPPER mark. These affiliated websites include Metro Mapper (www.metromapper.org); Gov Mapper (www.govmapper.com);

NYC Big Maps (www.nycbigmaps.com); the YOUR MAPPER blog (blog.yourmapper.com); and the Metro Mapper blog (metromapper.blogspot.com). 9. Each of these affiliated websites is available to the public and clearly identifies

the source of the mapping services as YOUR MAPPER. For example, Exhibit B is an image from www.nycbigmaps.com that shows a representative example of how YOUR MAPPER services are featured on these affiliated websites. The YOUR MAPPER mark and logo clearly appear in the bottom right corner of the embedded map page. Id. 10. The YOUR MAPPER affiliated websites have received significant traffic,

creating additional exposure for the YOUR MAPPER mark and services. For example, since November 2007 www.metromapper.com alone has received nearly 569,000 visits from more than 105,000 unique visitors resulting in more than 1.1 million page views. In addition, the other YOUR MAPPER affiliated websites have generated 12,800 visits from more than 10,000 unique visitors since November 2007. 11. The YOUR MAPPER mark is also encountered by users when the YOUR

MAPPER services are embedded in third-party websites. For example, a YOUR MAPPER embedded map is used by the Jefferson County (KY) Property Valuation Administrators web page at (jeffersonpva.ky.gov) to display home value data. See Exhibit C. Likewise, at www.joehaydenrealtor.com a Realtor uses a YOUR MAPPER embedded map to provide his clients with crime report data. See Exhibit D. As in these examples, whenever a third-party uses a YOUR MAPPER embedded map in their web page, the YOUR MAPPER mark and logo is displayed each time the page is accessed. 12. More than 197 unique maps from YOUR MAPPER have been embedded in third-

party websites which are hosted across more than 80 unique domain names. The vast majority of these embedded maps are available to the public. I estimate that YOUR MAPPER embedded maps have been viewed approximately 166,000 times through third-party websites. In the last month there have been approximately 22,000 views of YOUR MAPPER embedded maps bearing the YOUR MAPPER mark. 13. In total, YOUR MAPPER embedded maps bearing the YOUR MAPPER mark

have been accessed through the YOUR MAPPER Website, my affiliated YOUR MAPPER sites, and third-party sites more than 545,000 times since November 2007.

such as programmableweb (http://www.programmableweb.com/mashup/your-mapper) and CrunchBase (http://www.crunchbase.com/company/your-mapper). 19. YOUR MAPPER services have also received favorable coverage and reviews

from internet publications dedicated to topics relevant to consumers of YOUR MAPPER services.

See (http://www.usefultools.com/2009/10/local-data-at-your-fingertips/).

See (http://googlemapsmania.blogspot.com/2008/06/google-mapsmashup-award-winners.html). 20. I am also the exclusive user of the YOUR MAPPER mark on the services

identified in the application, and the YOUR MAPPER mark has achieved consistently high rankings in search results for the words your mapper through several search engines. For example, YOUR MAPPER services are currently the first result returned from a search for "your mapper" through the Bing, Yahoo, or Google search engines. Furthermore, 47 of the first 50 results from Bing refer to the YOUR MAPPER mark, the first 15 results in Google refer to the YOUR MAPPER mark, and the first 2 pages of Yahoo results refer to the YOUR MAPPER mark. 21. As a result of the above described professional recognition, media attention,

promotional efforts, broad base of users, and my exclusive use of the YOUR MAPPER mark; consumers and users of the relevant services understand YOUR MAPPER to identify the source of the services I offer under the mark.

The undersigned, being hereby warned that willful false statements and the like so made are punishable by fine or imprisonment, or both, under 18 U.S.C. 1001, and that such willful false statements may jeopardize the validity of the application or any resulting registration, declares
